Advanced Technology

With advanced technology our patients receive not only more effective oral care but also less invasive treatments with less radiation.

New Kodak 9000 Panorex
Kodak 9000 Panorex--Optimal Panoramic Quality! It is an innovative solution incorporating cutting edge panoramic, cephalometric and 3D imaging. This type of radiography requires no film inside your mouth and is far more detailed than previous panographic sytems.

Digital Sensor
Digital radiography (digital xrays) is the latest technology used to take dental x-rays. This technique uses electric sensors that capture and then stores the digital images on a computer. This image can be instantly viewed and enlarged to help the dentist detect any dental problems. It also provides the patient with a convenient and comfortable x-ray image with 50-70% less radiation than traditional film x-rays.

Stericenter
Our new Adec Stericenter is the most up-to-date means of insuring your optimum safety. We invite you to ask us to give you a tour!

Smile Design Software
Ever wonder how your teeth would look whiter? We can take a photograph of your present smile and digitally enhance your teeth to create your ideal smile.

Porcelain Veneers
For esthetic situations where you have spaces or gaps between your front teeth that orthodontists cannot improve upon or you only have one tooth that is flawed in some way and requires correction veneers can be the answer. Minimal preparation of the tooth is required and a thin tooth colored porcelain is applied to blend seamlessly with your present smile.

Opalescence Boost
Welcome to the newest generation of in-office bleaching...
In dentistry as in life, we are always presented with opportunities to change. In past years when a patient wanted to have their teeth whitened in the office a special light was required. Not any longer!! We now offer the Boost in-office whitening system as a way to speed up your whitening results.

There are some advantages to this system over prior sytems besides nothaveing to sit in front of a light. One hour is still the necessary time for optimum results. However, we can now use 38% hydrogen peroxide. This is a neutral pH and contains 20% water for decreased tooth sensitivity. The Boost also contains potassium nitrate to reduce sensitivity (the active ingredient in Sensodyne toothpaste).

Implants
Dental Implants provide an alternative to wearing removable dentures or cutting down your own teeth for a bridge. They consist of an implanted cylinder, plus an attached post made of titanium to which new teeth (crowns) are securely fastened. Implants have a high success rate. They can restore appearance, biting power, and confidence.

Precision Dentistry
With the advent of electric handpieces we can now work with less noise and less vibration.

Magnification
Each of the doctors and a few of the hygiensts wear special glasses with magnification. This enables us to create and deliver dental care with precise fit and finish!

Microscopic Evaluation
Microscopic evaluation of plaque samples-At each cleaning we examine a plaque sample to determine the quantity and quality of oral bacteria to help determine your risk for periodontal disease. The risk factors include the probe scores, the radiographic findings and presence of inflamation as well as your present medical situation.
